1. Call for Submissions: Cyber Law Toolkit. Cyber Law Toolkit, the online resource on international law and cyber operations, is inviting submissions for its next general update in September 2024. Successful authors will be awarded an honorarium. The Toolkit consists of a growing number of hypothetical scenarios, each of which contains a description of cyber incidents inspired by real-world examples and accompanied by detailed legal analysis. The Toolkit has been expressly referenced in a number of State national positions on international law in cyberspace and it has become a reference point for governments, militaries, international organizations, and academics. To keep pace with the recent developments in the cyber security domain and remain a relevant resource, the Toolkit is regularly updated. The project team welcomes proposals for new scenarios to be included in the 2024 update. This call for submissions is open until 1 December 2023. For more information, see the full text of the call.
